Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” has a lot to tell us about culture today, including why reading is so important. UCSB professor Julie Carlson & author @kierstenwhite.bsky.social say, “Reading is where the creature discovers feeling and thought, & the history of the world.” #VelshiBannedBookClub

📜🩸 Su nombre estaba escrito en las páginas de la historia de otra persona: Lucy Westenra, una de las primeras víctimas de Drácula. Pero su muerte fue solo el principio ⚰️ 🧛🏻‍♀️ Adéntrate en la historia de "Lucy inmortal", de @kierstenwhite.bsky.social 👇🏻 gigamesh.com/libro/lucy-i... 🐺

Am I going to scare you? Yes. But am I also going to make you cry? Yes. But is it going to feel like a gentle hug at the end? Only if it’s Mister Magic, definitely not if it’s HIDE.

I’m reading THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER right now and Stephen Graham Jones’ astonishing work with voice from book to book honestly floors me.

I love the Murderbot books with my whole heart, so much so that the adaptation actually makes me nervous when usually I don’t care BUT I will absolutely be watching. (Also read WITCH KING while you wait and marvel at Wells’ genre-spanning talent.)

To be fair, I have also been known to use semicolons while texting.

had the immense pleasure of helping to reveal the cover of @kierstenwhite.bsky.social 's new YA novel! You can check it out here: winteriscoming.net/behold-the-c...

COVER REVEAL! I’m back in YA with THE HOUSE OF QUIET, a book for those of us who want teen X-Men in a gothic fantasy setting 😘 Go read all about it and see the *gorgeously* eerie cover with art by Marcela Bolívar, designed by Casey Moses! winteriscoming.net/behold-the-c...

I would say HIRE ME but I think this team is perfect?? So excited for the Buffy reboot: www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/b... (They can still hire me if they want to, though.)

Authors Against Book Bans responds to the DOE statement supporting book banning in American public schools

As a longtime author I know better than to “find and replace all” when changing a character name, but I really though swapping out Hana for Nova would have no unintended consequences.

Also since this is my quietest social media let me just say how much I adore Star Wars Skeleton Crew already. SM-33? (I yelled “Smee!” out loud, cackling, and scared my family.) The holiday special nod? The Neel?? DELIGHTFUL.

Bad news buds I have to draft a book this month and I haven’t found the right song for it yet

All the accounts Bluesky suggests I follow are political journalists or therapists, what do I read into this

Okay this review of LUCY UNDYING is pretty great too Come for the vampires stay for the sheer feminine rage

Hi please enjoy the best review of LUCY UNDYING

Ah yes the crushing existential dread of another social media site, can I be depressed on this one or do I have to be aspirational
